"Little Traverse Bay Humane Society is a stellar facility with passionate dedicated Board, Director, and volunteers! We adopted our boy Charlie from them about 6 years ago - they were so accommodating and helpful in the process as well as after. We will be back- (hopefully later than sooner! Want Charlie to live a long life!) I am a donating artist for their annual fundraiser, and thinking of applying to be on their Board as a matter of fact!"

"We adopted our sweet Wallace at LTBHS almost 7 years ago after the devastating loss of our dog Franklin. Wally was rescued from a high kill shelter in Texas after Hurricane Harvey, along with about 70 other pups. He is a gem, we love this dog SO MUCH. He’s such a perfect boy, well behaved, quiet, just the right size. He’s some sort of whippet and lab mix and so, so special to us! Thank you LTBHS for rescuing those pups!"

"We adopted our dog Bean from LTBS about 7 years ago as a puppy. Bean was part of a group of puppies that came up from the south for a chance to live. This shelter is wonderful at being able to bring in dogs from high kill shelters and give them a second chance at life. We love our Bean and we love rescues!"

Get your dog the safe enrichment they need by renting a Sniffspot
David Adams is a man of many passions, but his love for dogs stands above all. He is not only a dog lover, but also the founder of an innovative platform called Sniffspot. This unique platform connects dog owners with private property owners who are willing to rent out their space for off-leash playtime. While the idea of Sniffspot was initially conceived by his wife, Rebecca, David has been the driving force behind its remarkable success, tirelessly overseeing its growth and development.
David's dedication to providing safe and enjoyable spaces for dogs to play, explore, and socialize is evident in his unwavering commitment to Sniffspot. He strongly believes that dogs need ample space and opportunities to stretch their legs and have fun. As a result, he has worked tirelessly to build a network of private property owners across the country who share his vision and are willing to offer their space for the benefit of dogs and their owners.
Despite his busy schedule, David always finds time to indulge in his passion for the great outdoors. He loves nothing more than exploring new hiking trails and embarking on thrilling outdoor adventures. Whenever he is not working on Sniffspot, he can often be found hiking or visiting multi-acre fenced sniffspots with his two beloved dogs, Soba and Toshii. He is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys the fresh air, breathtaking scenery, and the sense of freedom that comes with being in nature.
David is based in Salem, MA.
